7:04 pm
but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on the quote war between the believers and the disbelievers and quote, actually pointed out as well as the new orleans terrace suspect was shot dead up the same, but just to was then show. so didn't jip are what, what's known up items. well, what we know about him at the moment is that he was born in texas. he stops in the us army. he's you saw me last year and he served in the army searching. he is, and he continued as the army reserve until 2020. and he was also deployed to i've got to sound between 2009 to 2010, and he left active duty in 2015. and um, you know, um, but we also noticed that the ice is black flag was found in japan as vehicle during the call. roaming officials actually revealed that he converted to islam just of last year, and that he may have been radicalized online,
7:05 pm
according to to the us media reports. the suspects was previously actually awarded a label born terrorism metal for his service in afghanistan. he, he also was known to have loved them as a real estate agent. and as a cool part of consulting, but you know, in v to in videos, but he's posted online on, on youtube. he claims that his military experience actually helped him in his career, and that's what i'm so i'm born and raised in beaumont, texas, and now live in houston. and i've been here all my life with the exception of travelling for the military, where i speak to use as a human resources specialist, an icy specialist. well, we're at the meaning of great service and what it means to be responsive and take everything seriously dining i's and cross and tease to make sure that things go off without a hitch. well, let me the state's turn to the las vegas at tesla cyber a truck explosion which killed the driver. a local sheriff has been asked about the
7:06 pm
pardon, similarities at with the new orleans terror attack. so we can take a listen to his response. i'll talk to you after that. so the question is, is, are we working to rule in or rule out any connections to the new orleans of it? and the answer to that is every typically that comes in every piece of evidence that comes in. we don't discount it, we work it through it. you know, it's a interesting thing during these kinds of investigations that if these turned out to be fully similarities, very strange similarities to have. and so we're not prepared to rule in or rule out anything at this point. that was intriguing at the end there. the strange similarities part was that what might be implying there, i think we should give a little bit of the background stuff that uh the explosion of the test with cyber turn did in fact happened in las vegas and just a few hours off to the call ramming in new orleans. um 7 people was injured as a result and one was dead. and according to the las vegas police,
7:07 pm
from what we've just had, a faith suspects actually served in north carolina for the rug at a large military base. uh, but doing assessments don't know for sure yet whether they served in one unit or at the same time. uh, that's under investigation now. uh, but a to what we also know from what besides that they 1st subs and the sandstone back in 202-2009. but they obviously don't have the evidence just as of yet, whether they, what are the same, proven, same location of the same unit. and i've got a strong and that's under investigation and success. actually, he's on the same sign to run the costs that the houston that was has, you know, las vegas police also on the f b i. it was during a press conference awfully stated that the body of the las vegas suspect was and beyond recognition because they found a military id on his passport with his name president. and from what we
7:08 pm
know, the suspect is a side to 70 year old matthew, licensed by the from colorado springs and i know a 100 percent confirmation that it was him in the copy of the dna confirmation. as of this, the need to do to his, for the pain, but beyond recognition. but you know, he is the subject of interest at the moment, nor inforcement officials will say, stated that the an individual has sustained a gunshot wound in his head prior to i see detonating the vehicle. but because they have was gone, was found at his feet and uh yeah, um, uh inside the car. but what we will say, no, not based, concerned that he was so low in the vehicle that we've been hearing about in terms of what happened in new orleans, the, the most of us behind watts that may have at being involved there. what about in las vegas? what's known in terms of that, at the moment, especial make,
7:09 pm
we don't know about the motivation. motivation is currently on known, but lower enforcements actually following needs both domestically and internationally. but no information that the to that the las vegas saw specs to is there is no information about his connections to any terrorist organizations in the world the moment. but because it's not rude out including that . but you know, that may be terrorist linkfeld that, but we don't have that information just of yet. but you know, there are 2 interesting things to mention here as well. the 1st one is that the las vegas, i'm going to be talking about the las vegas so spending. the 1st thing is that one of his social media platforms as a photo or that was a photo of him wearing a, a t shirts with ukranian nazi symbol on that. and also he recently used his links to an account to reply to contract opportunities in ukraine. so obviously it's, it's an interesting and developing story. so wilson,
7:10 pm
i'm already in training. indeed. while former seattle is lori johnson suggests there may be more to both deadly incidents than the authorities are nothing hard. on the one hand, we like to proclaim that isis is this great villain. and yes, isis has carried out her roof. it attacks around the world. so you have to buy my old outfit, the c i a is been dealing with the funding of arming them, a quick thing that sold this, this kind of blow back. it's like it's, it's trotted out when it's convenient to say all we've got to do it raleigh against isis. for god's sakes quit we're, we're sending the money and the weapons were trained in these cats. and then we get surprised when they all, some of them go decide to turn on and attack us. i am actually beginning to think more more that this whole ice, this thing is a big, shiny object to distract from what's really going on. because right now, part of the narrative in the us media is all the so we got to tighten up with the
7:11 pm
border security. the 2 events, the one this one in new orleans, and the one in las vegas were done by a one, no former or me guy. and one and active duty army person. so, you know, the problems not from outside the problems from here with in the united states. and i cannot rule out the possibility that some of this is being staged in order to generate panic. even come up with a pretext, say, oh my god, we can't go forward with united ration because of all this terrorism. i, it just, you know, i, i've, i've seen it enough over the, you know, 35 years that i've been involved with this. then all of these initial reports that come out, there's always stuff this being kept back. we're not getting the full picture, the something that smell something, not right about this. something else we're across today. the russian embassy in australia has hit how i taught a raleigh held in vienna,
7:12 pm
commemorating the life from the deeds of infamous. you printing enough to collaborator, step and bunder. a is nothing but discussed is caused by the outburst of a handful of ukrainian nationalist who settled in austria and decided on january 1st to celebrate the birthday of hitler's accomplice, the war criminal step on bendara in the center of vienna. again, we strongly condemn the holding of even such a marginal action with the connivance of the local authorities. the nazi sabbath looks especially blasphemous in vienna in the year of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of austria from fascism. summer rallies were also held in the western ukrainian city of live. all hundreds were seeing carrying torches, and calling on tara hero. key of made his birthday, january 1st and national holiday back in 2018. the nazi cooperate her lead ukrainian nationalist during world war 2, organizing mass murders of ethnic jews, pools and proves solving at ukrainians. the head of
7:13 pm
a vienna base to politics think talked to darcy. the west prefers to turn a blind, died to such marches because the ravens against moscow the wherever you identity of the current austrian states actually derives from the call ups of national socialism. and from preventing the motions off. i'm not susan manufacturers and in the future. and when it comes to its own citizens, austria is actually very strict about all these laws. of course, if it's about real nazis and real fashion, who take the streets in australia, then of course the austin police is doing nothing. and um, also, or government is doing nothing because these people seem to be, of course, in the eyes of the deals for governments, the good, fastest. since the actually supporting the cost of the west of the united states
7:14 pm
and of the european union in the wall for ukraine. and i think this trust the a good example for the double standards of the west and especially of the political high populace, the off deals through the government when it comes to the so called on fights against. um x from is and now i want to show you this as well following the raleigh level. so the city's comic decorations were fun. the lies a 19 year old mine was film cutting the power cables of a large little menorah. he was later detained by local police. we got reaction from the holiday journalist and former idea of them are you actually follow through the the how much we split it in the new valencia and it keeps saying all the time. no, not see the new claim. well, nobody is not to the new grace and you can see them working on the street. you know, i really don't understand how you claim, let these people miles on the street,

and of course a gloves for the elderly as well. now, several apartment buildings were all windows and those apartment buildings were shattered as well. and generally there was a destruction in a civilian areas that according to the local governor and the gas pipeline was damaged there as well. however, he said it would have been fixed within hours of this strikes as a whole emergency services are working on the scene and trying to help people out. so, so far we have one person who received the concussion but elsewhere in especially minutes, reparation like right here. for example, in been as people people's republic on the 1st of january, january the very 1st of the year, at least 5 people, 5 civilians, 3 women and 2 men were wounded as the result of ukrainian artillery strikes. now generally here the names, people's republic, ukrainian drones and arts who dislikes are occurring occurring on
7:18 pm
a daily basis. and we are hearing about civilian casualties on a daily basis as well. and never the less live here continues that people are still hoping that this will soon come to an end of what it is indeed a new year. um with it. more problems for europe to tackle ukraine has refused to prolong a 5 year gas trends that agreement with must go now to move this product through to the on popular with several e u countries who have not been cut off from affordable gas. the slovak prime minister sees the move will damage the entire block, and those even threaten key would sanctions really gave it up with, did you see the page? on the 1st day of 2025, the lensky began to deliberately damage. slovak is public finances and harm the entire european union. only the united states will benefit from zalinski is decision with increased gas imports into europe. i don't know,
7:19 pm
so we are ready to negotiate and agree collectively to stop the supply of electricity and a significant reduction in age of citizens of ukraine. gore on the territory of the slovak republic only as the only alternative for sovereign slovakia is to resume transit. to see more to demand compensation mechanism, stuff to make up for the loss of almost 500000000 euros in public finance. it doesn't care because he didn't. does that on a scale european countries such as romania austrian, italy had continued to receive russian gals via ukraine after the conflict began. still vakio and moved over are expected. however, just for, for the most, from the gas flow closure, as russian supplies cover line 60 percent of their demand, ukraine had repeatedly threatened to end the transit deal with the russian president saying he of this decision would only punish you citizens. while some european states warranty, praying against the move, the polish foreign minister, actively support who did spend billions building nord stream to
7:20 pm
circumvent ukraine and blackmail eastern europe with the threat of cutting off gas supplies. today ukraine cut off his ability to export gas, direct to the e u. another victory after the enlargement of nato by finland and sweden, as well as some celebrate others, are already feeling the pinch. the break away eastern european region of tons new straw has been forced to cut off hot water supplies with medical sites being the only public facilities left with he thinks, while in germany, the national energy regulator has erred citizens to save gas as consumption, spikes due to the winter weather former austrian foreign minister car in can i saw, spoke to r t. she say is the decision is likely to harm your plan itself? the ukraine is losing 1000000000 of trends. it's fees is quite some money for a country that has not much other forms of income for the more of course, also ukraine was benefiting from this russian important guess and was a very fred,
7:21 pm
sean energy infrastructure, which has been suffering for all kinds of reasons. i think the ukranian population will be one of 2 like stems. i'm not sure why that what is going on is now it's pure national decision by the premiums. maybe there's some pushed by washington saying we want to make sure that the russians simply download on any money uh on the, on the german austin market. i don't think that it's a decision that is purely motivated by domestic ukrainian motivation. this time it will not be an interruption, just so we got to convince her options for books. and let's just say our research. i was a 5 manish. we've been handled, you know, to announce. but the problem is, is we're not using that because we have
7:22 pm
a clueless drive for buying ellen sheet, which comes from those america which comes cars, countries. but there are customers which pay maybe better prices and uh, yeah, off european customers who with used to having long term contract, which gave them as sorts of stability. and now this, you're paying customers have to do something, extend fights on a daily weekly basis for contracts on the spot market. so for them, it's a different situation. and even so, a lot of people have got to task, but that's because it was announced to want to go, i think the reality, whoops, to be not easy to handle. russia was a reliable product. and i asked before i should the soviet union, which started to enter into this long term contract, stating back to 1968. so nearly 60 years of continues long term. so like this
7:23 pm
5, anything does need to happen in the last 6 years. so there was a reliable, affordable, natural gas flowing through the pipeline. and now when it's cut, whether it's mozambique, whether it's buying gas from jerry or anywhere you name it, you have, it will have either to political or economic or other issues. so every time you go, can you teach a contract, you have to dispose of the same thing that contracts might be disclosed also on that trip. notice because it's sticky on the spot market and it's not long term supplies. israel has confirmed it's violation of a cease fire with neighboring level software. images of explosions inside the country began circulating on social media the
7:24 pm
the idea of claims to have targeted as well as miss launchers in southern and have it on israel said it was forced to i. so after the regular lebanese army failed to neutralize have rockets despite an id request, is there a lobby? it continues to own or been november 6 fire deal with cars, bella, but will swiftly destroy any emerging threats to its national security. there's been no immediate comment from the last year of the war between the idea of 5. because paula saw thousands killed and leveled on. it came as part of israel's regional assault on allies of a run with the leaders of from us and his boldest sauce. and it is your middle east correspondent, maria florida. with a recap on the region cycle of finance. of israel's policy of whoever hurts us will be heard back, has driven invasions and bombardments, especially in the last year, but in 2024. these doctrine reached new heights with a series of illuminations of some of the country's most formidable foes. so what exactly has israel managed to achieve, and how has the world reacted?
7:25 pm
one of the biggest take downs was his bottom of liter suddenness, roland, a sworn animal of israel for decades. in a dramatic strike, the idea of obliterated his bunker and the lebanese capital b rude. the world's reaction was muted. many governments remained silent while some even described the assassination as justified. but the cost of the strike went far beyond miss roll a himself. as many as 300 civilians, repulsively lost their lives in the attack collateral damage, neither is roll. no, the west seemed eager to address outrage erupt. it's from iran, took the iraq seed way of russia garza and then we strongly condemn yet another a political murder committed by israel. this violent action is fraud with even greater dramatic consequences for 11 on and the entire middle east. the israeli side could not help but be aware of this danger, but took such a step,
7:26 pm
the murder of lebanese citizens, which will almost inevitably provoke a new search of violence level and the lebanese people of the new targets of israel is policy of genocide, occupation, and invasion which it has been pursuing since 7th october 2023. design is entity confirms once again, through this despicable aggression, it's barbarism and wanton, disregard for all international standards and laws. the syrian people have never forgotten how send those through all a support prime minister netanyahu describing him as nope, just another terrorist. but the terrorist is really officials held. he's the, it has a significant step toward achieving the countries strategic goals sooner than the smaller. the elimination of nicer outlook is a necessary condition in a changing the objectives. we have sent him returning the residents of the north and safely to their homes and changing the balance of power in the region for years
7:27 pm
. as long as no serrato was alive, he would have quickly rebuilt the capabilities we took from hezbollah, with hostages still held in gaza and thousands of his really residents unable to return home safely. the question lose, was it truly at justified death? how most political leader is smiled honey. i was also a prime target, is ro office treyjen. he's assassination during his visit to, to iran for the reading, president's integration, a smuggled explosive device that on a type in the guest house killing hernia. and his body guard 5 months later is wrote officially claims responsibility for this. and all the high profile assistant nations, vowing the remote to come by this afternoon we will strike who's the strategic infrastructure, decapitated leadership just as we did honey, a sin. why? and those are all into ron, gaza, and 11. and we will do and who data and son of the killing
7:28 pm
of guys a base 10 mosley there. yeah, here seen wire that israel's defense. but as to boast that about grab headlines and not just for how it happened. idea of soldiers eliminated him in southern gaza, but the twist. his death was accidental, confirmed only later or through dental and dna tests and wires and came with dramatic visuals. the idea of released drone photos of his final moments showing a man who forwards to the bitter end for his support or is it turn him pain to a symbol of defiance? and the global reaction, surprisingly quiet. iran was one of the few countries to condemn the killing when muslims look up to martyrs in war, standing on the battlefield in combat attire and out in the open. not in a height out facing the enemy. the spirit of resistance will be strengthened, but us was quick to back the view of its
7:29 pm
t l i. in the middle list. there is now the opportunity for the afternoon guys without how much and power and for a political settlement that provides a better future for israelis and palestinians alike. yeah, here seem, war was an insurmountable obstacle to achieving all those goals that obstacles no longer exists, but much work remains before us, but it was always achievements and triumphs. one critical question remains, why have israel's 2 main war objectives the safe return of northern residence and the release of hostages still not been achieved? has as world truly secured its goals with these high stakes assassinations or has it laid the groundwork for the next wave of the conflict reef and optional all t repulsing from jerusalem on just some updates from northwest syria. finally, where it's really or strikes have reportedly had military facilities in a level province flooded circulating on the line shows most of last lighting up the
7:30 pm
